[QUOTE="soberups, post: 793940, member: 14668"] As a semi-"old timer" myself (23 years) I also want to point out that many of the benefits contained in the current contract were negotiated and fought for by those who came before us. When I started, there was no such thing as an 8 hr request. The over 9.5 language was essentually worthless, it had no provision for penalty pay or any other mechanism for enforcement. You couldnt take an additional option week by combining optional holidays with a sick day. There was no "innocent until proven guilty" language allowing the employee to continue working while a suspension/termination case was being resolved. In many areas there was no route bidding language at all and management was free to dispatch you on whatever route they saw fit. You "youngsters" take this stuff for granted today. [/QUOTE]
